Weatherseal For Double Doors


Has anyone found a good weatherseal to use at the bottom of an exterior double door setup? The astragal has a rubber seal which works nicely, but there is that small area where the doors and threshold intersect that never quite seals well. Every time I look at the back door of my work van, I'm tempted to get one of those door seals at the dealer (Ford vans have one that might be a good fit). There has to be a company that addresses this. Any suggestions?

GO PATRIOTS!!
Nice to see that you are a Patriot fan. If the day light is between the operating door and the astrical then they have foam pads with a covering for that purpose. You can also get some nice mohair ones for the door vendor. If you have daylight on the door that is attached to the astrical then the have foam compression pads for that also, but they do not have a covering. Either way, trim the pads so they fit properly and will not wear off.

Very few door companies make a double door that has no daylight where the doors come together.
